Adult Faith Formation
6:30pm St. Agatha Center
As we pray, so we live, and vice versa. Discover how the Church defined her teachings through the years - it’s not just dusty history! These councils help explain why we believe what we do so we can understand it ourselves and be ready to explain if someone asks.
Register with Amy so folders can be made.
Snacks and/or wine to share are appreciated.
Franciscan University of Steubenville's Catechetical Institute
presents
We have partnered with the Catechetical Institute of Franciscan University of Steubenville to bring you a chance to further your Catholic faith formation at your own pace through an online learning system. "Franciscan at Home" offers a multitude of workshops, webinars, seminars, and more, at no cost to you. We purchased a year long subscription (July 2025 through June 2026), so please take advantage of this opportunity! If you need help in learning to use Franciscan at Home, please contact Amy at the parish office.
Faith Formation Parents -
This is just for you!
While your kids are in class on Sundays, you have an opportunity to come and relax with other parents, grab some coffee, and have discussions deepening your own faith formation. No registration necessary. Meet in the library at St. Mary's, down the hall from the kitchen.
The kids have class on Oct. 12, but there will be no parent faith formation that day.
Welcome
Monthly Holy Hours of Adoration
Pope Francis exhorted us, "Let us make space for the prayer of silent adoration, in which we experience the presence of the Lord...Let us return to worship. Let us lend the ear of our hearts to the One who, in silence, wants to say to us, 'I am your God - the God of mercy and compassion, the God of pardon and love, the God of tenderness and care...'"
Whether you are trying to ignite your faith again or grow deeper, we invite you to our monthly Holy Hours of Adoration. Some of the evenings have different themes, from Social Justice to vocations.
Each kind of Holy Hour is a chance to make up for and believe for those who do not believe. This is a spiritual battle and the evil one is fighting hard. Will we fight for those who don't yet know the love of God?
40 Hours Adoration
This year we'll have continuous adoration from Sunday after 11:30am Mass until the closing on Tuesday at 7:00pm on Oct. 19 - 21. We have at least one adorer in all the time slots - thank you! The Eucharist should never be left alone in the monstrance. As a backup we like to have a second adorer signed up. We are still in need of a second adorer in many of the time slots. As always, you can stop in the church for any amount of time at any time.
